They are the result of ex tensive inquiries recently made by the institution amongst medical men, medical bodies, and coroners throughout the United Kingdom. Possessed of this valuable information the committee of the Lifeboat Society have felt justified in acting on it. After having been carefully considered, and the several opinions thus collected compared one with another, the committee have caused the following instruc tions, based on the plans of Dr. Marshall Hall and Dr. H. It. Silvester, to be printed, and the same are about to be extensively circulated on the coast and elsewhere. Aided by four excellent illustrations the plan of the institution for the restoration of the apparently dead from drowning is made intelligible to every one, and this additional important service rendered by the Lifeboat Institution cannot fail to elicit the approbation of the community at large:— 1.--DIRECTIONS POR. RESTORING THE APPARENTLY PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. THE CONFERENCE, The Conferenea met yesterday at one o'clock. All the members were present, Considerable dis cussion took place, and the meeting lasted until four o'clock, when it was adjourned until Saturday, the 28th inst.—a very long postponement consider ing the gravity of the aituiticn both at home and abroad. As the term of the auFpension of hostilities nears its end the public anxiety as to the turn matters are likely to take naturally increases. We understand, however, with regret, that the Confe rence has np to the present moment made little or no progress towards a pacific result ; and that the views of tLe belligerent powers are as irreconcile able as ever. We have good reason to believe that Prussia and Austria have formally announced that the war has put an end to the treaty of 1852. The neutral powers, equally parties to that treaty, have now therefore to deoide whether they will allow this bold violation of a solemn engagement to be carried out with impunity.—Herald. DROWNED. Send immediately for medical assistance, blankets, and dry clothing, but proceed to treat the patient instantly on the spot, in the open air, with the face downward, whether on shore or afloat; expnsieg the face, neck, and chest to the wind, except lit revere weather, and removing al! tight clothing from the neck and chest, especially the braces. The points to be aimed at are—first and immediately, the restoration of breathing; and secondly, after breathing is restored, the promotion of warmth and circulation. The efforts to restore breathing must be commenced immediately and energetically, and persevered in for one or two hours, or until a medical man has pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to'promote warmth and circulation, beyond remov ing the wet clothes and drying the skin, must not be made until the first appearance of natural breathing. For if cir culation of the blood be induced before breathing has re commenced, the restoration to life will be endangered. ._.,, SHIPS AND SHELLS. A writer in the limes says :—ln your leader on the recent naval engagement you assert " the Danes gained this victory by their shells," and there can be no doubt of the fact. " The moral to be drawn from this lesson is," as yon correctly observe, "im portant." But how will that moral be improved by the Admiralty ? That is the question. Every unprejudiced man who is practically acquainted with modern artillery has the conviction that in future naval warfare shells will prove the most effective and formidable of all missiles. It has been conclusively demonstrated that by their agency we can burn a wooden ship with rapidity and cer. tainty. Every Armstrong shell which struck the old wooden frigate Huzzar off Shoeburyness at the range of 1,000 yards set her on fire, and she was consumed to the water's edge. Even the closely packed wooden backtng of iron-plated targets has been ignited by shells; and those who have wit nessed these results have been astonished at the rapidity, as well as intensity, of the ignition. God help our sailors who may be doomed hereafter to fight in our boasted wooden walls ! They will in evitably be drowned, blown up, or roasted alive. But, apart from the effect of ignition, there is nothing which a sailor dreads so much, and with reason, as the explosion of a shell between decks, where cover is impossible, and the smoke resulting from a large bursting charge of gunpowder will suffocate and disorganise the sturdiest veterans . What, therefore, the sailor most fears is assuredly the best instrument to employ. We have guns which can project shells into our strongest ironclads afloat or in process of construc tion. The 600-pounder 23 ton 13in. Armstrong will send a steel shell, containing the tremendous bursting charge of 291 b. of powder, into any of these vessels with unerring certainty and with the most destructive effect. It is probable that a single shell from this gun would suffice to decide an action. At present we have a solitary gun of this calibre, There it stands at Shoeburyness gaping and idle. Its service charge of powder is 90113., and, so far as it has been tested, it has resisted perfectly and pre sents not even an incipient flaw. At whatever cost, we must have more of these guns ; and naval constructors would be better occupied in contriving suitable ships to carry them than in designing ships on the old broadside pattern for a multitude of comparatively useless weapons. Let the Admiralty be on the alert. Other nations, especially the United States, watch with intense eagerness all our expe riments. What would their Lordships asy, or, rather, what would the country say, if our trans atlantic cousins should be the first to adopt these monster guns in their navy ? Look out, my Lords, or you will be bohindhand in this matter. The 300• pounder 12 ton 105-inch gun is an ad mirable weapon, and can deliver a steel shell into the interior of any of our ships, even tho most strongly iron plated. It has been at length then introduced into our navy, though as yet most spar ingly. We have heard much about the Duke of Somer set's pet 100 pounder smooth-bore, and Admiral Frederick's fancy 7 inch gun, But the time of his Grace and of the gunnery Lord would be better devoted to the question of arming our ships with really efficient guns and steel shells. The shell's the thing which ought to catch the conscience of the Duke. Whatever else is done, let not the shell be left undone. So long as we have ships of war, the public earnestly desires that they should be the best possible in every rupee. It is not pretended that our naval armament should consist only of 600 and 300 pounders, though guns of smaller calibre than the latter will not mske much impression on ironolads, or that every ship of war should carry such monster artillery. But these guns must be introduced in considerable proportion into the naval service with as little delay as possible. Give me a suitable vessel, with one 600 pounder and a few steel shells, and I would sink or destroy the Warrior in less than half an hour, even with ali the Admiralty on board. The Armstrong and Whitworth Trials, The trials with these ordnance were suspended yesterday, all the members of the Special Committee having returned to London to hold a meeting, with a view, it is understood, to consideration of details of the programme yet to be gone through. On Monday the trials were made only for endurance-- that is, 200 rounds were fired from each gun rapidly, and without any object as to aim or range. Before the reassembling of the Committee at Shoeburyness on Wednesday afternoon, careful impressions will be taken of all the ordnance to show the progress of wear and tear in their chambers or rifling. The guns have now been fired just upon 1,400 times, or about twice as often as, on the average, the old brass smoothbore field-piece endured before be coming unserviceable. All the guns competing on this occasion show signs of what they have gone through, but as yet nothing appears which could lead anyone to foretell which will outlast the other. Both Sir William and Mr. Whitworth assert them selves perfectly satisfied with such signs of wear as may be traced, and as yet consider them trivial. The trials will be continued during Thursday and Friday neat; and at the end of the firing on Friday, the Special Committee will suspend the continuance of further competition for nine days, during which the Committee themselves adjourn. Last week the trit;, l 4 Were entirely for range and accuracy at high elevations. We are not yet in a position to give authentic details of 1: - !lese days' practice, and can only state generally that Ole r esults were, on the . I t wo rth's gun whole, decidedly in favour of Mr: Wh as far as last week's competition was" aouctrued. - THE NEW BIM.

ALL THE PRETTY THINGS THE PRETTIEST OF spo ken in play by Sydney Smith ,—" Oh IMr Smith," a pretty girl said, who waspaying a visit to his garden wit h a party of friends, and pointing to some swat-peas; "moose sweet-peas have not yet come to perfection." "Then," said Sydney Smith , stepping forward and taking the young beauty by the hand, cc • perrtut me to conduct perfection to the sweet-peas,' II; TO RESTORE BREA.THING. Place the patient on the floor or ground with the face. downwards and one of the arm under the forehead, in which position all fluids will more readily escape by the mouth, and the tongue itself will fall forward, leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. Assist this operation by wiping and cleansing the mouth. If satisfactory breathing com mences, use the treatment prescribed below to promote warmth. If there be only slight breathing, or no breathing or if the breathing fail, then, to excite breathing, turn the patient well and instantly on the side, supporting the head, and excite the nostrils with snuff, hartshorn, and smelling salts, or tickle the throat with a feather, &c., if they are at hand. Rub the chest and face warm, and dash cold water, or cold and hot water alternately, on them. If there be no subcess, lose not a moment, but instantly —to initiate breathing—replace the patient on the face, raising and sup porting the chest well on a folded coat or other articles of dress. Turn the body very gently on the side and a little beyond, and then briskly on the face, back again, repeating these measures cautiously, efficiently, and perseveringly about 15 times in the minute, or once every four or five seconds, occasionally varying the side. On each occasion that the body is replaced en the face, make uniform but efficient pressure with brisk movement en the back between. and below the shoulder-blades or bones on each side, re moving the pressure immediately before turning the body on the side. During the whole operation let one person attend solely to the movements of the head, and of the arm pprloacceededued with, dry dry theWhi hlstantds and the abovfeeeto; and a operations aresoson 9 sdry being clothing or blankets can be procured, strip the body and cover, or gradually reclothe it, but taking care not to inter fere with the efforts to restore breathing. Should these efforts not provo successful in the course of from two or five minutes, proceed to imitate breathing by Dr. Silvester's method, as follows :—Place the patient on the back on a flat surface, inclined a little upwards from the feet; raise and support the head and shoulders on a small firm cushion or folded article of dress placed under the shoulder-blades. Draw forward the patient's tongue, and keep it projecting beyond the lips : an elastic band over the tongue and vnder the chin will answer this purpose, or a piece of string or tape may be tied round them, or by rais ing the lower jaw the teeth may be made to retain the tongue in that position. Remove all tight clothing from about the neck and chest, especially the braces. To imitate the movements of breathing—Standing at the patient's head, grasp the arms just above the elbows, and draw the arms gently and steadily upwards above the head, and keep them stretched upwards of two seconds. (By this means air is pressed out of the lungs.) Repeat the mea sures alternately, deliberately, and perseveringly about 15 times in a minute until a spontaneous effort to respire is perceived, immediately upon which case to imitate the movements of breathing and proceed to induce circulation and warmth. IV.—TREATMENT AFTER NATURAL BREATHING HAS BEEN RESTORED. Commence rubbing the limbs upwards with firm grasp ing pressure and energy, using handkerchiefs, flannels, &c. (by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins to wards the heart). The friction must be continued under the blanket or over the dry clothing. Promote the warmth of the body by the application of hot flannels, bottles, or bladders of hot water, heated bricks, &c., to the pit of the stomach, the arm pits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet. If the patient has been carried to a house af:cr respiration has been restored, be careful to let the air play freely about the room. On the restoration of life, a tea spoonful of warm water should be given: and then, if the power of swallowing have returned, small quantities of wino, warm brandy and water, or coffe2, should be administered. The patient should be kept in bed, and a disposition to sleep encouraged. APPEARANCES WHICH GENERALLY ACCOMPANY DEATH. Breathing and the heart's action cease entirely; the eye lids are generally half closed. the pupils dilated, the jaws clenched, the fingers semi -contracted, the tongue approaches to the under edges of the lips, and these, as well as tho nostrils, are covered with a frothy mucus. Coldness and. pallor of surface increase. CAUTIONS. Prevent unnecessary crowding of persons round the body, especially if in an apartment. Avoid rough usage, and do not allow the body to remain on the back unless the tongue is secured. Under no circumstances hold the body up by the feet. On no acecunt place the body in a warm bath, unless under medical direction, and even then it should only be employed as a momentary excitant. Medical Attendance for the Sick Poor, An inquiry was held last Right by Mr. Hum phreys, Middlesex coroner, at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Victor'a Perk, touching the death of a fe male child from want of medical attendance at birth. Charles Franks, 6, Type-street, Bethnal_green, a shell-fish hawker, said that at four o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 9th of April, his wife awoke him and asked him to fetch a doctor, as her confinement was imminent. He went to the work house at Bethnal-green, where they sent him to the house of Mr. William Runcieman, the relieving officer. The latter positively refused to give an order for the doctor, but said the woman should come into the house. Witness said she was too bad for removal. Mr. Runcieman said he would not give a doctor's order, but he would give an order for admission. He gave witness a paper, which he could not read, and which he believed, on the faith of Runoieman's assurance, was an order fordode admis sion.tor , Is Witness took it home, passing the house, and told a neighbour that his wife eon on y l l be taken into the house. In the evening , after the child was dead, witness took the orderorbdaeerkfotor the relieving officer, who said it was An e doctor, and asked witness why be did not pr esent it. Witness said ,g B ec ause you , told me it was f or gave similar evidence, and said that they yd not read. Mrs. Franks the house and not for the doctor.' Mrs. Swam sa idg t hat when last en witness came a O by Rvittinlie only take her • tm He in re,e w a ith the pretty us ga, e Fitness paper eneesive i tn ini ss l into the house. but for the w oman Swai nsbury witness must h ave lost her life as well as the h e said " child. Mr. F. T. Gant, sur geon to the Royal Free Hos pital, proved that the d eceased, a fine healthy child, died solely from want of medical skill. Mr. Runcieman swore that he never said to Franks that he would only give an order for admis sion. He did say, ~ If you are so poor as you say she ought to come into the infirmary." Witness asked him if he knew the doctor's house, and he said yes, and witness then gave him the order. Mrs. Runcieman corroborated this statement ; and an inmate of the workhouse, a messenger of Ba i i;:ieznan't3, corroborated the latter on another point. _ The F ore ni t o said Mr. Ranckman was free from blame, but that he had n ot been so ca reful as he might have been to pre vent the man f rom f a lli ng kto error, and thereby the child's lif e w ee sacr i. ficed. _ . _ Verdict, " Deith from want of medical attoid. tinee at birth."

The Loss of the Matilda Steamer, The following is the official report relative to the loss of this vessel : "My Lords,—l have held an official investiga tion, assisted by Captains Harris and Cow, into the circumstances attending the stranding, and subse quent total loss, of the steam vessel Matilda, which occurred on the night of the 4th of April last, on Lundy Island, and I have now the honour to for ward this as my report. The Matilda was a twin screw steamer, built at Renfrew in this present year, and registered at Glasgow, of the burthen 544 93-100 tons. She was built of iron, and pro. pelled by two engines of the combined horse power of 150. She was manned by a crew of 30 hands, all told, and was commanded by Mr W. G, Pinchon, who holds a certificate of competency as master, dated January 13, 1853. The Matilda left Glasgow, in ballast, bound for Cardiff, to fill up with coals. After taking on board 500 tons, and about 10 tons of steel and other metals, she took her departure from Cardiff, bound to Bermuda, on the evening of April 4, between five and six o'clock. At 7.10 p.m, she passed the Nash Light, and at 8.30 p.m. the Skerweather Lightship bore N.E. three or four miles distant. From this position the course steered was W. by N. N., and the vessel was running at full speed-10 or 11 knots. At 10 o'clock p.m. a fog came on, and her sleed was reduced to one-half. A little before 11 o'clock p.m., the fog having become thicker, the engines were put "dead slow," and the course was altered about half a point, or to W. by N., in the hopes of hearing the fog gun on Lundy Island. At 11.20 land was discovered overhead on the star ; board bow, the engines were immediately stopped and reversed, but instantly the vessel struck. At this time the pilot states that he thought he was six or seven miles N.E. of Lundy. It appears from the eeidenee that this vessel had been swung at Greenock for the adjustment of her compasses, of which she had three on deck. It also appears that after leaving the Clyde, the only reliable compare according to the masters' opinion, was that in the after Innueelt ; immediately before the wheel on the poop. The foremost cothpass placed on the deck house before the engines —an azimuth, and in• tended for a standard—was rendered useless by the vibration of the ship when under weigh. The midship compass was placed so near the cookhouse and combings of the etoke , hole, which are both of iron, that the master considered it insufficient, though it, as well as the other compass, had been duly compensated by magnets when the ship was swung. There is great reason to think, however, judging from the eotirees steered and the fatal re sult that ensued, that this conipada, though dis regarded, was the most correct of the three. I must here notice, that they were all stated to have agreed with each other when the ship was lying in Cardiff dock: 13ht throughout no reliance seems , to have been placed on the niaindeek compete, It was stated in evidence that it differed two points to the southward from the steering compass, by which the (mum was laid. It must also be noticed that •, the pilot was of opinion that the steering compass was correct from running the distance from Break sea Point to the Wash Light, an opinion which he communicated to the Mager. Prom a careful re. view of all the circumstances, t am led to the con clusion that the courses steered from the Sker weather were justifiable in ordinary weather, pro vided the sempass had been correct ; but consider ing that there was a till& fog l and that the com ' pass varied as much as two points, it Would have been prudent to have kept the ship more to the northward, rather than to have altered the course as the pilot did towards the island when the fog became so dense. I should also remark that this was the first iron steamer the pilot had taken down Channel. With reference to the conduct of the master, lam disposed to think—and in this my assessors concur—that, having no previous expe rience of the navigation of the Bristol Channel, he was justified in relying upon the local knowledge of his pilot. But, knowing that a great difference is his compasses existed, he ought to have called the attention of the pilot to the fact when the weather became so thick that lights or landmarks were no longer atailable. By not doing so he pre vented the pilot from exercialhe that caution which he otherwise would have done, So far the n:.."ter's conduct is reprehensible and deserving of censure ; but it is not of so grave a character as to induce me to suspend his certificate. It has, therefore, been report that the hasty returned to him. :7' _glad to st the crews of ' the master aeuin charge Made . - Certain Bristol pilot boats of p i u ,-dering the veSael after she teas Wrecked, has been satisfactel::: ex plained and entirely disapproved.

JAMES'S NOYELS.—A critic in Saturday's Spectator observa,—lt chanced to the writer once to do what probably no other living man ever did except Mr James himself, to read, when sick and bookless abroad, the Wire series ! He quitted them with a feeling of regret that they were not twice as many, thkt he should not be any more kept FO pleasantly at once from deep and thinking. They were full to nausea of all the faults which the trained critic hates, of characters repeated time after time, descrip tions loaded down with words, "morals" forced on the ree.der with impertinent obtrusiveness , But they were pleasant reading nevertheless. The excessive flow of worer ds, a flow wholly unequalled except in F enimore Cooper's lat novels, is not verbosity but rather garrulity, the talk not of an empty-beaded man but of a man accustomed to take too much time, to tell his story in detail, to recount, as Eng lish peasants still do if they have any adventures to relate.
